Victory Cruise Lines will launch a new “LakeLorian” program in 2025 in partnership with the National Museum of the Great Lakes.
The LakeLorian will serve as an onboard expert about the Great Lakes, giving lectures and leading discussions with travelers on Victory Cruise Lines’ ships, Victory I and Victory II.
“With this unique collaboration, the Victory I and Victory II will be floating extensions of our institution and we look forward to sharing the science and history of The Great Lakes together,” says Kate Fineske, executive director of the National Museum of the Great Lakes.
At each port, the LakeLorian will host a daily “Lake Chat” in the ship’s Tavern or Compass Lounge to share more information about the city or town. The LakeLorian will also give an exclusive lecture highlighting a current exhibit at The National Museum of the Great Lakes.
“I visited the National Museum of the Great Lakes earlier this year … and immediately understood why there was so much enthusiasm behind this partnership,” says John Waggoner, chairman and founder of Victory Cruise Lines. “Our guests are looking to not just visit ports in the region but learn as much as they can about the Great Lakes and this partnership is a wonderful addition to the guest experience.”
Victory Cruise Lines will relaunch next April with a 10-night cruise through the St. Lawrence Seaway and Canadian Maritimes hosted by John and Claudette Waggoner. The company will offer 36 cruises next season, with itineraries that include all five Great Lakes. Travelers will get to visit iconic destinations like Mackinac Island, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; Sault Ste. Marie (Soo Locks), Michigan; Niagara Falls (Port Colborne), Ontario; and more.
